The New York Times, December 26, 1881

GENERAL NOTES

Mr. Tache, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Canada, is reported to have said that Mr. Samuel L. Clemens's application for a Canadian copyright was not made out in regular form; that he did not state in it that his domicile was in Canada. If he had said that his domicile was in Canada, the authorities, he added, would have been bound to take his assertion, and then, if it had been disputed, it would have been left to the courts; but, as he did not assert that his domicile was there, the application was refused.
